Perfecto! Thanks.
For others, above the do loop put the following where 'items' is the name of your table. It's what shows up in the URL on other than the first page like 'pageNum_WADAbooks' or 'pageNum_WADAinventory'.
<?php
$rowcount = 0;
if(isset($_GET['pageNum_WADAitems'])) $rowcount = intval($_GET['pageNum_WADAitems']) * 10;
?>
In an empty column in the repeating table put <?php echo ++$rowcount; ?>
Jason, is the above correct? I wouldn't want to steer anyone in the wrong direction.
